The household support fund grant has been allocated to councils to enable them to support vulnerable households with essentials and has been further extended until March 2026.
Ealing Council are planning to once again use part of this fund to provide families entitled to benefit related free school meals with children in Ealing state funded schools (R-Y14) with vouchers for the 2025 Easter school holiday.
The value of these vouchers will be £30 per eligible child.
Parents and carers not currently registered for free school meals (or only registered for some of their children) are encouraged to apply on the FSM portal if you think you might be eligible. All families with children currently in Reception to Year 14 in an LB Ealing state funded school whose free school meal eligibility is confirmed before the end of the Easter school holiday will be eligible to receive a voucher.
